former NOP strength coach speaks on drugs!

I find it strange that the headlines on the site denigrate Mitchell and Drummond, yet somehow praise Merritt as the anchor of the 4 x 4.

An outstanding clip from Vern Gambetta that I think confirms what everyone already knew. This group is really pushing the limit, and I wouldn't be surprised if back a few months when there was all the news on Centrowitz that his 49.999 pushed over to 50.001 and he was told to lay low for a while. Very interesting insight.

This article had nothing to do with the NOP. His comments were with respect to Drummond and Gatlin. He refused to talk about the NOP, so it was kind of unfortunate how she framed his comments in that context.

all NOPers are dopers

This comes from a very trusted man. We'll see what the OR PJT response is, if any.

Doesn't it make you curious as to why he would refuse to talk about the NOP? It's certainly a red flag. If there is nothing suspicious, why wouldn't he simply say so?

"nobody will speak out because of fear of libel."

I am sure he had a Non Disclosure Agreement with NOP. This is why Magness is also silent on the subject.

Maybe Austin has some info from this training guru that he can share.

All of these dirty scum bags can only prove things by condemning themselves. YES Alberto is slimy, but so are these other guys.

What do you find strange?

Aren't there whistle blower laws to protect these people?

The results of ALL drug tests should be published.

It makes me curious as to why everyone would think a man who worked for the NOP for 6 months almost 10 years ago could possibly comment on its current affairs.

My guess is he doesn't know anything, regardless of NDA.

Not if it's not illegal.

Or against some rule...I should add.

All the hordes of elites who used transfusions in the late 70's and early 80's will never admit to it despite there being no rule against it. That's what "non-disclosure" means to me.

Well if you listen to some Magness interviews he basically says they're doping without explicitly saying it but makes it obvious if you read through the lines.

But yeah, NOP is dirty. Probably gene dope AND drug dope.

I've lost respect for them, but at the same time Centro, Rupp, and (kind sorta sometimes but not really) Ritz are competitive in big races which make the USA look good even though they're on drugs. So I'd rather see a clean athlete do well or my favorite runner Bernard Lagat do well, but I'll still root for them kind of.

He doesn't really speak too much about NOP, or for that matter, drugs, beyond "drugs are bad".

He also seems to condemn exotic but legal things like cryogenic icebaths or hypoxic chambers (unless you can buy these at the store).
